THE decision of Judge Colt in the
case of the Government against the
Bell Telephone Company, rendered In
the United States Circuit Court at Bos'
ton yesterday, is to the effect that Con-
gress not having made any provision
for the institution OF suit by the Gov.
eminent to cancel patent on the
ground of fraud, no right to bring
such suit inheres in the Government
Therefore the demurrer Of the Bell
Company Is sustained, and the bottom
drops out Of the case-a view that Is
very likely to be taken by the Supreme
Court on appeal. 1t is no less profit
able field for the lawyers, and they will
doubtless pursue 1t to the end. 1t is
in the power of Congress, nevertheless,
to supply the missing link, If 1t is
thought advisable to do so, and Invest
the Government with right which ii
does not now possess.
